The Barn is part of a Grade II listed property and has been renovated from a stable block and woodsheds into a modern and spacious living space. It is single level, so there are no stairs to negotiate.

Thorndon is our nearest village (just under a mile away), with a lovely pub called The Black Horse. Eye is our nearest town (one mile way), with supermarkets, butchers, greengrocers, delicatessen, coffee shops, a chocolate shop (yum!), estate agents, hardware store, hairdressers, Chinese and Italian takeaways, doctor's surgery, community hospital and library. Diss and Stradbroke are close by, with even more facilities including swimming pools and restaurants. We have some lovely pubs around us where you can get seriously good food. Our local fish and chip shop in Eye serves delicious fresh fish. We also cook homemade food should you want to pre-order food in for special occasions.

Fantastic barn, jacuzzi, BBQ bedrooms, facilities and host - Helen! Couldn't have asked for anything more, incredibly accommodating and flexible. Our group absolutely loved staying at the barn and we will be back!

Edward2017-05-07T00:00:00Z

Helen was a lovely and extremely welcoming host. She accommodated all our special requests and she and her family made us feel very at home. The barn itself is the perfect location for a family escape. The accommodation is the most kid-friendly place I've stayed - a playroom full of toys and books, fabulous climbing frame, swings, plenty of running-around space, friendly pets. But it also has that much-appreciated bit of luxury for parents, in such a beautiful setting it was impossible not to unwind. And the hot tub was a massive hit for both adults and children alike. Great local amenities, pretty countryside walks and fun places to visit too. We had a wonderful stay and can't wait to go back!

Gorgeous shepherds hut in the middle of a meadow with spectacular views less than 2 hours from London. Fab shower room in barn next door. Beautiful Eye town is a ten minute walk away with a great pub, antique shops and deli. 40 min from east coast.

You are in the middle of a field, but can walk into one of the most beautiful small town in Suffolk. Diss train station is 10 minutes by Taxi and trains run regularly directly to London Liverpoolstreet. Fab for Cycling, walking and totally relaxing- Although you stay in the middle of a meadow, the shower room and loo in the adjacent barn are brand new.

This is a very special part of Suffolk, you can get to Southwold and the East Coast and the Norfolk broads in 40 minutes by car and have some of the most amazing villages, churches antique shops and pubs nearby, yet it is largely undiscovered.

I decided to book this place as a surprise for my partner who deserved a peaceful break away. This really is a little gem of a place with its tranquil surroundings and amazing views. The hosts were very kind and welcoming and very chilled out. They really couldn't do any more to help you, great characters. The local Chinese restaurant in town was sublime and I'm usually fussy. Overall our experience could have not been anymore perfect. We would like to return again one day to enjoy the same experience.

Olivia's little shepherd's hut is in a remarkable position; the adjacent barn is beautiful, the grounds are stunning, and the countryside beyond is extraordinary. Surrounding fields of cows and rabbits give way to a picturesque church and village beyond – lit by the July sunshine, this was a particularly special setting. Set just outside the village of Eye, the short walk to a local pub for dinner was perfect on the summer's evening we stayed, and there is plenty to explore in the surrounding area. The hut itself is super cosy and well appointed – we loved the decor. In the adjacent – very beautiful – barn there is a well-appointed bathroom and the facilities are perfect for what we needed. A marvellous English country stay!

Sophie2016-07-25T00:00:00Z

Olivia was very welcoming. Hut is in a great location.

James2016-07-18T00:00:00Z

A nice little hut and great hosts! The hut itself is a few hundred feet from the really impressive barn, which has a toilet, bathroom and basic kitchen - so in terms of what you have access to it's much more than the hut. Olivia and Gary are very welcoming. They gave us a hamper of food and were alway approachable and helpful. Gary recommended a long cross-country walk to the nearby village of Hoxne. The place is 5-10mins walk from Eye. Definitely recommend!

Sam2016-05-31T00:00:00Z

We never saw our host!!!! - she didn't seem to know who I was when I rang her, at her request! A friendly cat (very clever beast left us a note - called Gary) did come to say hello that was something! A bottle of wine was left - nice, but a friendly welcome would have been much better!

Peter2016-07-14T00:00:00Z

Do stay here if you are looking for a little bit of wilderness with sophistication on the side. The shepherd's hut is so relaxing, with a view across to Eye church and an amazing sunset on the night I visited. Scrunchy bed linen and candlelight...utter simplicity and romance. Just a stroll across the field is a bathroom with a powerful shower, within a beautifully renovated ancient abbey maltings. I came away feeling rested and inspired! Olivia is a very welcoming and considerate host...the booking was arranged very last minute, but everything was well organised and efficient.

Candida2016-07-10T00:00:00Z

Quick stop off for a nearby wedding. Loved the setting, wish we were staying there for the week! Thank you Olivia and Gary for your hospitality. Stef

Stef2017-07-02T00:00:00Z

A unique place to stay in quite the most wonderful rural setting and views.

Heather2017-03-16T00:00:00Z

Beautiful place to stay, very thoughtfully kitted out including spare toiletries. Gill and her family were lovely and very welcoming and allowed us to leave our car on their drive for four days while we went off cycling touring, and gave us tips about the local area. A highlight was meeting their very cute dogs!

Juliet 2016-09-08T00:00:00Z

This little oasis is a real find and you need look no further. The Brome Cupboard is beautifully laid out with a really lovely bathroom,very comfortable sofa bed and all mod cons. There are many thoughtful touches like a hairdryer and toiletries in case you have forgotten yours. A delightful breakfast is also provided which was a lovely added touch. Gill and Geoff could not have been more helpful and we do hope to visit again soon.

Chloe 2017-08-20T00:00:00Z

We had such a lovely stay at Owl's Hoot. It's situated in a very peaceful and quiet area which is great if you want a relaxing weekend. The place is very well equipped, you'd pretty much be able to cook anything in the large kitchen area. However if you wanted to go out, John and Katie had an extensive list of places to eat out, they all looked lovely but it was just so cosy in the barn conversion that we just wanted to make the most of it. The jacuzzi was great and made it even more luxurious! We would certainly recommend Owl's Hoot!

Felicia2017-04-14T00:00:00Z

What a gorgeous place for a romantic weekend away. John provided lots of information about what to do in the local area, where to eat and anything else you could ask for. The hot tub was amazing and the bubbles and choccie upon arrival were lovely too. Thank you for such a lovely stay! Alice (and Ollie)

Alice2017-07-18T00:00:00Z

Our stay at Owl's Hoot was delightful, the barn was immaculate and extremely well equipped. Easy to find and get to, with a lovely pub/restaurant less than a mile away. We mainly used this for a quiet getaway, so the comfy sofa beside the fire and Netflix was a bonus! The photos make it look smaller than it is, we were pleasantly surprised with the size. Highly recommend.

Kate2017-01-29T00:00:00Z

Great place just book you won't be disappointed

Steph2017-05-14T00:00:00Z

Highly recommend. Lovely place, nice surroundings and homely feel.

Danny2017-07-24T00:00:00Z

We have just come back from our 2 night stay here to celebrate my partner's 30th birthday. The barn was everything we could have hoped for. Inside it is very modern and stylish, equipped with everything you need. The location is quiet enough to relax but if you want to explore most things are within a 1 hour radius. We visited Colchester zoo and Ipswich harbour. The hot tub is a great addition we spent each night relaxing in it watching the stars. John was extremely helpful and even left us some wine to celebrate! We would definitely recommend if you are wanting a realaxing break. Thank you very much John.

Emma2017-04-12T00:00:00Z

If you are looking for a quiet get away in beautiful Suffolk countryside then this is perfect. Within walking distance of the local pub - with lots of walks on the doorstep or a hot tub in a very secluded garden if you want to chill out. The accommodation is high quality through-out and everything looked brand new. Would stay here again in an instant.

Chobbs Barn provides luxury self catering accommodation with contemporary furnishings in a traditionally designed oak framed timber building. Nestled within the large gardens of Camomile Cottage B & B along a private lane, it offers comfort and style in a peaceful quiet rural location for two adults.

This luxury holiday cottage is a romantic hideaway for a couple. The building is a new oak-framed barn that has been cleverly laid out to give a spacious relaxing atmosphere, with exposed roof beams, a sophisticated interior with underfloor heating and wood burning stove for the cooler months, logs supplied. It is situated on the edge of the historic market village of Eye in Suffolk. The property has WiFi access.
We are happy to do short breaks in the barn if available ( fri/sat/sun) or ( mon/tues/wed/thurs)

We love the fact that we are along a private lane, amongst lovely gardens whilst not being overlooked, perfect in the summer, whilst in the winter our barn is a cosy romantic retreat for two!

Aly's barn in her garden is a very well equipped and attractive place for 2 to stay, comfortable and warm with all modern equipment and very stylish. Aly is very warm and welcoming. Very peaceful and attractive rural area, well worth a visit at any time.

A good selection of pubs and restaurants within 1-3 miles of B&B. Walking and Cycling routes can be picked up up from directly outside B&B. Within 1 mile of Thornham Walks. Close to two steam railways; Bressingham Steam Museum and Mid Suffolk Light Railway.

We spent two nights at Frog Hall during a mini heat wave last week and what a fabulous experience it was! It was a surprise treat for me so I had no idea where I was going, but on arriving at Frog Hall was delighted by the rural location, beautifully appointed room (I still have bathroom envy) lovely Victorian style garden/patio and the warm welcome. We found some very atmospheric country pubs with great food within a short distance and were welcomed in the morning to a breakfast worthy of 5 star hotel in a truly wonderful beamed room, complete with inglenook fireplace and candles. A great combination of wonderful service but at the same time feeling as if we were staying with friends!

Hakan2016-05-09T00:00:00Z

Breakfast was delicious both days and there was a good selection to choose from. Our room was immaculate and hosts were friendly and helpful (they went the extra mile to make sure we were catered for). Good facilities available (iron, extra pillows, tea/coffee making facilities in room). Beautiful location, plenty of places nearby to eat which Denise kindly recommended in advance and offered to book.

Emma2017-07-02T00:00:00Z

Definitely worth a stay! Lovely hosts and perfect location

Maria2017-09-01T00:00:00Z

Excellent. Lovely old house in secluded lane, garden, annexe with comfortable private room and super bathroom for us. Denise and John were ideal hosts and took great care about big and small things and made a perfect birthday break. Breakfast in the 1700 house was a treat. There is a lovely patio garden with table and chairs. When we were there it was full of butterflies. If you're there for a summer evening it would be a nice peaceful spot to drink a glass of wine (take it with you). Lots of dinner options an easy drive away. We loved the Oaksmere which is a funkily decorated half Tudor half Victorian hotel/pub with a remarkable variety of bars and dining rooms.

Alastair2016-08-14T00:00:00Z

Denise and John's BnB was lovely - a beautiful setting in rural Suffolk, in a private annex from their thatched cottage. The room was great, with a very comfortable bed, modern en-suite bathroom and impeccably clean throughout. They were extremely helpful and easy to communicate with, and even were kind enough to give us a lift down the road to our party. All in all, an excellent experience - highly recommended.

Oli2017-06-11T00:00:00Z

What a beautiful haven! The location is idyllic. The room is very comfortable and well-furnished, with all the amenities that we needed. We particularly enjoyed the private sun-drenched terrace and garden. The hosts were accomodating, welcoming and generous - they even drove us to our friend's wedding so we didn't need to pay for a taxi, and allowed us a late check out so we could sleep in the next day. A very positive experience. I would definitely recommend it.

Charlotte2015-08-09T00:00:00Z

Staying at Frogs Hall B&B was a graet experience. The cottage is lovely furnished and modern in therms of equippment. Also facilities for tea/coffee/hot chocolate as well as water and cockies were waiting in the room. Everythin was very clean and new. Given the location it is a wonderful place to take long walks and explore the area. The viallage nearby is aso worth a visit. Having breakfast next to a fireplace with a menue to chose from was definitively a highligt! Denise and John are great hosts! We totally recommend staying at Frogs Hall!

Luisa2016-04-06T00:00:00Z

Frogs Hall was easy to find and breath taking when we pulled up. It's straight out of a picture postcard, beautifully looked after with a gorgeous garden. We were met by Denise and felt an instant, genuine warmth. The room, en suite and private courtyard is absolutely charming. The décor is top class, spotless and so comfortable. Even down to the little extra touches in the room you can tell this couple really care about their guests... I have never had a romantic breakfast before, but we were lucky enough to have two here... complete with candles and soft music in the original cottage.. best cooked breakfast too, thanks chef John! One last thing was the offer of a lift anywhere after a hard day walking, eating and drinking was greatly appreciated on our last night !!! Keep doing what you are doing Denise and John you are absolute stars Lorraine and Ren x

The Cottage is situated at the top of a private driveway on our quiet farm in the village of Oakley, which has a friendly feel. Friday night is village hall night where you can mingle over a drink and play pool! every last friday of the month the fish & chip van comes at 7;30! A 2 minute drive will take you to The Oaksmere Country house for food and drink.
We are just outside the lovely picturesque town of EYE where you can get plenty of provisions and enjoy a stroll and a coffee!
Diss is about 10 minutes and the train from London Liverpool Street is 90minutes.

We arrived to such a warm and sunny welcome. Caroline and her gorgeous son were on the front lawn to greet us! The cottage is huge, clean and perfectly equipped...the photos on the website do not show it's full potential!. We really enjoyed the space and the peace and quiet and felt instantly relaxed. A brilliant cottage and weekend break and we hope to return again soon.

Natalie2014-06-02T00:00:00Z

Milly and her family were wonderful hosts. We were totally taken aback by the beautiful surroundings, which are away from main roads so it was easy for us to walk around with the children without too much worry. The house was really cosy and everything we needed was easy to find. Thanks for an excellent stay!

Lauren2017-04-09T00:00:00Z

The reservation was canceled 99 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Stephanie2014-05-01T00:00:00Z

This was 1 of the best places we have stayed at. The hosts are lovely people, very friendly, who made us feel at home. The cottage was easy to find as was the key for the front door. Inside we felt really comfortable. There even were toys for the children. They loved the cottage as well. The place has a big garden where we could relax and let the kids run around. I could only wish we stayed a few more days there. Thank you Mrs Milly Prior!!!

Gueorgui2015-09-27T00:00:00Z

Milly's hospitality was incredible. The cottage is divine and Milly had equipped it with everything you could possibly want! It was charming and cosy and the wood burner in the lounge is a real feature. Milly had left us a hamper of local food/drink goodies which was a lovely touch and there was plenty of information left for us about the surrounding area and what we could do/see. The gardens and grounds of the farm were great, especially the sheep out the front! Thank you for such a super fun time, we'll definitely be back!

Louise2016-01-02T00:00:00Z

We had the loveliest time. The house is absolutely gorgeous - a traditional farmhouse with a cosy living room and a fab kitchen. All the bedrooms are such a great size and decorated beautifully. The best thing about it was just how quiet everything was, a really great escape from the city. Sheep in the fields, chickens and duck (with ducklings!) pottering around. An ideal country retreat - thank you for having us!

Charlotte2016-04-18T00:00:00Z

We had a lovely time at Peck's' - we were three couples, each with a small baby. The house was cozy yet spacious enough for all of us to feel comfortable and not on top of each other - and the bedrooms were all a good size. Milly was a wondeful and accomodating host, answering any questions I had in advance of our arrival, and providing a variety of helpful tips about the area and getting around. Especially appreciated the cot which was set up for our daughter and all the toys that the house had! The playmat was a particular favourite for all the babies. Many thanks! x

Jean's place was perfect! We were 4 girls from London looking for a weekend escape. The place was exactly as described, easy to find, and was a lovely property and area to go for a walk around. Jean was amazing- there was juice, freshly baked home made bread and eggs waiting for us on arrival! As well we brought a small dog and Jean had bought us doggy treats for our stay- very thoughtful! There was a fireplace and having a late night fire on a cold January evening was exactly what we needed. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a break in the country side or if in the area.

Naomi2017-01-22T00:00:00Z

Jean and Brian were fantastic hosts. Jean kept in touch with me beforehand, advised us on places to eat and they were there to meet us on arrival. The house is really lovely. The view is amazing. We stayed over New Year and the little extras Jean and Brian left for us made it even more special. The only downside for us was that our stay wasn't long enough. We would definitely visit again. Thank you Jean and Brian.

Amanda2017-01-03T00:00:00Z

Wonderful weekend in idyllic rural setting overlooking the lake. Even had the opportunity to knock a few golf balls around on the small on site course which was a lot of fun. Fresh eggs from the chickens roaming the garden and Jean very kindly delivered a loaf of delicious home baked bread. Jean was very welcoming and generous, the house clean, tidy and private. Would certainly return - just hope for longer next time !!! Thanks Jake

Jake2016-06-06T00:00:00Z

Jean was the sweetest and most amazing host! She was super flexible with our odd arrival and departure times. So generous! We enjoyed our stay.

Liz2016-09-05T00:00:00Z

Lake View is a lovely lodge set in peaceful & beautiful grounds. You are gazing over a pretty lake & surrounded by chickens & ducks. The host 'Jean ' is a very welcoming lady who baked the most delicious bread & provided freshly laid eggs...a lovely touch !! The lodge was exceptionally clean & very comfortable & perfect for our family of four.Our children loved the Table Tennis & games plus the mini Pitch & Putt.We would definitely return!!

Mel2017-04-07T00:00:00Z

Jean & Brian's place is perfect! The cottage is very cozy and has all you could need to have a perfect holiday: summer or winter, the place is very well equipped. There is a big selection of films and table games in the house that we particularly enjoyed in our very short stay. Jean's homemade bread, jam and fresh eggs were a very special treat :) Surrounded by nature with beautiful trees and a lovely park filled with wildlife: birds, foxes, rabbits and chickens! The sunset looks amazing in the autumn colours...! There is a pub just 5 minutes drive from the cottage that served good food. We were very please and we thanks again Jean and Brian to make our stay just perfect!

Mara & Chris2016-10-27T00:00:00Z

My wife and I celebrated our wedding anniversary here with our 3 month puppy, and the accommodation and country location is wonderful.

Old Church was magical! We had an awesome stay exploring the building as well as the surrounding landscape. Kitchen was super well stocked with anything you might need and has these two beautiful windows and a giant table we spent most of our time at. Cooking on Aga was an experience in itself, too. Bedrooms were all super cozy, we slept like babies! Another super cool part was the church steeple, i guess we can call it, which you can get up through this spiral staircase. We also took long walks in the surrounding fields which was lovely. All in all, we had a great time and highly recommend the place to anyone looking to spend some intimate quality time with loved ones.

Amazing place, such an experience to stay here. Can't wait to return!

Hayley2015-02-24T00:00:00Z

Wow what an amazing place! I celebrated my 30th birthday at Rishangles Old Church and it was a weekend I will never forget. Such a beautiful and unique setting to explore and it had everything we needed. The kitchen was well equipt and there were plenty of activities indoor and out to keep us entertained.. badminton, boules, trampoline, table tennis, board games, piano and a huge gas BBQ ! Would thoroughly recommend this place and I would love to go back one day! Thankyou so much for having us.

What a fantastic place to stay. The building and grounds are gorgeous... we had an amazing stay over new years. I would definitely recommend this to friends and family. Great for big groups, lovely kitchen and sitting room to eat, relax and play games etc... We enjoyed having the fires on. Thank you for letting us stay here.

A really special place, wonderful to explore inside and out. We had a family weekend there, celebrating my parents' 70th birthdays and it was perfect. Great views from the top, footpaths from the door and near to the Suffolk coast for crabbing! The turning to it is easy to miss (especially in the dark) - if the Baptist church is on your left (on the road to Debenham), then the turning is immediately after it on the right).

Beautifully refurbished period barn in a convenient location on Norfolk/Suffolk border. The barn had every modern convenience you could need. The kitchen was fully supplied (had enough space and utensils to cook a roast dinner!). Will definitely stay again.

Catherine2017-05-01T00:00:00Z

We had a great stay at Jo's converted modern barn in the beautiful Suffolk countryside. The gift basket when we arrived was greatly appreciated and communication between Jo and ourselves was perfect. It was ideal for two couples and the kitchen was well equipped. We look forward to stay again but for longer.

Very lovely and quiet barn in a picturesque village. Enjoyed a variety of local produce provided by Jo and had a great evening at the Oaksmere hotel for garden cocktails and dinner (5 minutes walk from the barn). Barn was very comfortable and kitchen well equipped.

Our gorgeous pink thatch cottage is perfect to fulfill your English countryside adventure. Open fireplace, open views of the countryside and local footpath to Eye at bottom of the garden. Three apple trees and plenty of blackberries in the autumn. We don't have a TV so it's a very relaxing space for reading. Countryside walks and fresh air. No light pollution, the stars and sky are amazing. Two hammocks for between the Apple tress.

Eye or Diss

The cottage is set in a beautiful location, with peace and quiet guaranteed! Staying at the cottage for a week provided an excellent 'base' from which to explore the Suffolk area (e.g. Framingham, Southwold and Aldeburgh). The cottage was comfortable, clean and relaxing. Erin and Rob were excellent hosts, replying quickly to any questions or queries we had both before and during our stay.

Andrew2017-04-14T00:00:00Z

Erin's cottage was perfect-- quaint and comfy and the perfect location for a wedding we attended in the countryside. She was great at communicating and making sure we had all the information we needed.

Amy2017-07-16T00:00:00Z

Comfortable cottage in a very secluded position, perfect for a relaxing get away, however the bathroom could use some attention.

Margaret2017-08-06T00:00:00Z

This was a very special time for us, in a very special place. It was so quiet and beautiful - a very cozy and relaxing environment.

Chris2016-12-23T00:00:00Z

A beautiful cottage right in a quiet countryside location. We have twin toddlers and the house was perfect for them- including a door to the stairs which was handy! Lovely walks nearby and we drove to Norwich in just under an hour. Erin was fantastic and provided us with everything we needed. Can thoroughly recommend.

Charlie2017-01-03T00:00:00Z

The cottage is set in a beautiful location, very isolated (only one neighbour next door) and within easy reach of interesting villages. Unfortunately we experienced an infestation of flies that were mostly in the kitchen and living room, plus newly installed bee hives in a farm nearby, were bringing around 20+ bees, some of them dead others about to die, into the bedroom via the main chimney stack. My husband was stung on his foot when he walked into the room the first day and after that we hoovered the floor on regular basis. There was not much we could have done, so we spent a lot of time out of the house, even dinner and breakfast we had it in the garden to avoid the flies, thankfully the weather was very nice to do so. The communications with Erin were good and she did understood our situation and hopefully they will put measures in place to improve the experience to future visitors.

Beatriz2017-06-05T00:00:00Z

Good and yes

David2016-05-12T00:00:00Z

A beautifully presented little cottage with good sized rooms and lovely touches. Our host was very thorough and the house pack covered everything we needed to have a pleasant stay without having to scrabble around or guess at where to put things and where to to turn things on. Our 22mth old especially liked the trampoline in the garden and the horse in the field next door. We only stayed for a weekend for a family party but it made a lovely base to come home to.

Barry2017-09-06T00:00:00Z

We had a wonderful 3 night stay in Sabra's cottage. Everything was just as the pictures show - very cosy, comfy and with everything you need for a great stay. The location was great to explore the sights of both Suffolk and Norfolk, and we would definitely recommend. Sabra was a great host, and gave us plenty of tips about places to visit.

Laura2017-08-18T00:00:00Z

Delightful host and very clear and helpful. Comfortable, attractive place with everything you need. We had a very enjoyable stay.

This accommodation was absolutely amazing !! Spotlessly clean and well equipped . A wonderful place to stay for peace and quiet. We would highly recommend it to everybody. Thank you so much to our hosts Sabra and Simon We will definately be coming back very soon .........

Tina2017-08-09T00:00:00Z

We had a lovely stay, the accommodation was great, well equipped, oozing charm and character. We walked into Diss for an evening meal, and has a great cycle ride in the countryside the next day. We would not hesitate to recommend to others and hope to stay again in the near future. Sabra was very friendly, and answered all questions in the lead up to our stay with lots of suggestions of where to eat etc.. Great communication!

Nicola2017-08-13T00:00:00Z

What a truly lovely place to stay! This romantic barn conversion is the perfect relaxing and romantic retreat. There are so many unique features such as the stable door that opens off the bedroom, rustic beams and the beautiful views of the open fields, which are amazing. My husband and I had a wonderful time dining al fresco in the courtyard and enjoying morning coffee at the stable door, relaxing on the chaise-style sofa in the huge bedroom. Sabra is a wonderful hostess and has furnished her accommodation to a high standard with very comfortable furniture - it is the perfect combination of luxury and homeliness so you can truly feel comfortable. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Rebecca2017-05-31T00:00:00Z

I would defo recommend this for a romantic getaway. The cottage was amazing and decoration made it feel so homely, the surrounding scenery was beautiful and a lovely quiet getaway from my usual busy town! Sabra was a lovely hostess making us feel welcome and giving us her number in case we needed anything. Thank you so much for having us you have a lovely home! xx

Abbey2017-08-06T00:00:00Z

We absolutely loved our stay here. Sabra was lovely and welcoming we even got a bottle of water and a KitKat on arrival. The flat is exactly how it looks in the pictures, but everything is bigger and better in real life. We loved having breakfast upstairs looking out onto the field. It's in a great location with a short walk into the centre of Diss, and easy drives to the coast. We would most certainly stay again!

The house is predominantly made of wood and has just been fully refurbished to the highest standards , so it has a wonderful feel , light Airy and inspiring , it's very indoor - outdoor and threatens plenty of garden furniture , swings and benches in the garden and table and chairs for breakfast on the terrace,as well as trees to climb!
There is a huge Double reception with high wooden ceiling - this is very impressive and one can spend time just staring at it's magnificence . There is a lovely fireplace for winter nights and a perfect dining room seats 6-8 and smallish 60's modern kitchen with new fridge freezer and washing machine , just trying to find a dish washer that'll fit just now :) ! Lots of new cutlery and mixed crockery. All New Beds mattresses , sheets and duvets etc . So should all sleep well!
Full wifi and tv with Netflix account :).
Also there is a day bed / double bed on the mezzanine level of the living room which essentially makes a third bedroom/ snug for TV etc.

There are many fantastic country gastro pubs with great food and excellent local craft beers. etc, within a stones throw of the house .. try the Swan in Hoxne - great sunday lunches (book a table) huge garden and great fires in the winter ... the Kings Head in Brockdish also does Pizza/ Pasta & Jazz on selected nights ( Usually Thursdays-give them a call) , for something a bit more special head to the Oaksmere in Eye for a more gourmet experience , set in a huge estate this Pub/restaurant/hotel will really impress also with large play area for children . (Pricier- but worth it!)
On the weekends head down to Southwold , Aldeburghdrive through amazing vsuffolk villages and countryside ( about 40min) or anywhere on the coast really and enjoy great walks in the Nature reserves , beaches and of course world famous Fish & Chips, ice cream in Aldeburgh..
there is Diss locally a great 14thC market town , great for shopping and picking up local bargains also has a great all day cafe for breakfast as well
As Lidl and other supermarkets . And some great Thai and whole food restaurants .
If that's not enough venture to the Del a Pole Arms in Wingfield and see the church and Castle there with moat , I hear the food is good here as under new management , lovely pub again with good fires .. there are also nice walks around here
You can also walk behind the house down the side of the field ( Waveney Valley ) to the river ( little Ouse) and back , which is very quiet and peaceful as away from the roads. But don't let dogs escape into the farm!
There is also lot of good cycling to be had locally and you can cycle ( or walk) to Syleham and see the river at the old mill cottages by the wier towards Brockdish. There are also some large lakes nearby if you carry on along Syleham road towards Harleston , these are great for a lakeside walk (or swim!)
Horse riding is also available - full and half day pony trekking etc
You can also hire boats for a day locally and potter about on the Norfolk Broads , which is great fun
Let men know if you have any questions
I leave a local fact file in the house with some local numbers on it etc

Lovely house, more spacious than the photos suggest, great for families. Quiet, private setting, great location for day trips to other parts of Suffolk. Well equipped kitchen. Baths with shower attachments to the taps. Sam was very responsive to texts.

Charlotte2017-09-03T00:00:00Z

A lovely, spacious property in a secluded location. A huge garden, perfect for children and outdoor living.

Hilary2017-08-28T00:00:00Z

Unique rural house, very quiet and peaceful. Sam was very communicative and made the check in a lot easier. Thanks!

Katie2017-09-01T00:00:00Z

This house is actually better than in the descriptions we loved the retro 70's feel and it was great to enjoy a different place to stay. The house was comfortable clean and everything was there that we needed. Lovely new bedding and towels! No shower which I had not picked up in the listing but not a problem. Sam the Host was brilliant at replying to any questions literally straight back which is quicker than any of my family replies to me!! The house is quite remote with lots of driving through lots of country lanes to get anywhere. We visited Southwold and Aldeburgh with a preference for the latter as it was a much nicer town and not as busy! Thoroughly reccommend eating at the KingsHead in Brockdish which had the best Italian food and a great range of Ales if you are into those. A great place to stay!
